Are you a closet videographer? A movie-maker? Get your creative juices flowing by putting your ideas to film for Dove Award nominee Jonny Diaz.

Diaz, who is up for the New Artist of the Year Award, wants YOU to create a video for his new single “Stand For You.” Here’s a link to his website and how to enter the contest.

Jonny also has a YouTube video about the meaning of the song. Basically it’s that, “We live in an amazing country that was founded on Christian principles that can be found in the word of God,” and that those values have been watered down. And that as Christians we must be bold and stand up for our country and those values.

Diaz’s first single — “More Beautiful You” — off his first CD with INO Records is making its rounds on mainstream radio and the Internet and has hit the top 30 on the Billboard mainstream AC charts.

I had an opportunity to chat with Jonny last spring at the Dove Awards and here’s a link to a story I posted on the former baseball player.

I’m a Denver Post sports copy editor, who covers Christian music in my spare time. I’m a rocker at heart. Grew up listening to Led Zeppelin, The Who ... classic rock is what they call it now. I was introduced to Christian rock by my cousin, Sharon. My first Christian rock experience was Atlanta Fest when I saw this new group — Third Day — playing in front of about 50 people at an outdoor picnic area.
